“Reports of your recent public statements indicate that you suggested the possibility of long-term lockdown of the residents in the city and county of Los Angeles, regardless of the legal justification for such restrictions,” wrote Eric S. Dreiband, assistant attorney general for the department’s Civil Rights Division. “Any such approach may be both arbitrary and unlawful.” Dreiband pointed to recent comments from Garcetti and Los Angeles County’s director of public health, Barbara Ferrer, which implied that the twice-extended March 19 orders could be prolonged to stay in effect until mid-August....

Schnapp, 17, went viral on TikTok yesterday for sharing a private conversation with Doja Cat in which she expressed a romantic interest in the Eddie Munson actor. Prior to the TikTok revelation, Doja Cat had tweeted multiple times about her appreciation for the British actor. Late on Thursday night, Doja Cat took to social media to express her dissatisfaction with the situation, and with Schnapp in particular. “The fact that this person, that Noah did that, went and posted a private conversation between me and him is so unbelievably socially unaware, and wack,” Doja Cat told her thousands of viewers as she spoke live on her TikTok account....

Quite a presidential week – for Bob Dole. A three-time loser in national campaigns, Dole may try again in 1996. If he does, there’s no assurance he’ll get there. The same forces that push him into a lead role may ruin him later. He is, after all, the consummate insider in a nation that abhors powers that be. But in the meantime, this could be the start of Dole’s season....

In a video shared on the video-sharing platform on Sunday, the “Jolene” singer, 75, was seen dressed in a colorful ensemble as she addressed her fans. “Why hello, I guess I’m on TikTok!” Parton was seen saying. “I just dropped in to say everything’s gonna be OK, you keep the faith.” The star then launched into song, tunefully informing her incoming followers: “If I can do it, so can you… I believe in you....

Dolly puts this rural warmth at the core of her new album, “Little Sparrow,” a sweet and simple return to her Smoky Mountain childhood. The album follows her previ-ous labor of love, the Grammy-winning “The Grass Is Blue.” On this record, she mixes acoustic, folk-based mountain music with her emotive vibrato on her songs about love and life in Appalachia–and unlikely renditions of songs by Cole Porter and Collective Soul....

Officials with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) found the dead mammal in May earlier this year washed ashore on Upper Captiva Island in Lee County, FL. The FFWC subsequently alerted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Office of Law Enforcement. An examination of the carcass indicated that the adult male dolphin had been impaled in the head with the object while it was still alive, with the nature of the wound suggesting that the animal may have been in a “begging position” at the moment that it was struck....

Miko, who is known for being particularly brazen and outspoken, reportedly didn’t mesh well with the Dolphins, but it was unclear whether she played a part in the team’s cutting Brent Grimes. Now Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has admitted to the Palm Beach Post the team was not just cutting the football player, but his wife as well.

Today, the Dolphins envy their in-state rivals' stability and professionalism. They might envy their record after Monday night, too. Never have conditions been more favorable for a Bucs win. The Dolphins made a loud, albeit nauseating, show of togetherness last week as the hazing/bullying scandal spread—but they still take the Raymond James Stadium field without two offensive line starters, the eyes of the storm, guard Richie Incognito and tackle Jonathan Martin....

FOLLOW LIVE: Updates, highlights from Dolphins vs. Bills wild-card game It’s been an emotional last couple of weeks for Buffalo with Damar Hamlin’s health scare and the response from around the league. But the Bills earned the No. 2 seed in the AFC, finishing the regular season with a 13-3 record. Miami managed to get into the AFC playoff picture as the No. 7 seed, as Jason Sanders’ 50-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter helped the team to a must-win in Week 18 over the Jets....

Radical forces including far-right organizations supportive of then-President Donald Trump seized the attention not only of the country but of the world with last month’s brazen storming of the Capitol Building, an incident that left five people dead. Prior to the fateful event, the ranks of these groups had begun to expand across the nation, some underground and others in plain sight, as the U.S. government focused narrowly on the threat of jihadi organizations such as Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State, also known as ISIS....

Ahead of the primary, Morse, the president of the New Hampshire state Senate, has received the support of more moderate Republicans, such as the state’s popular governor, Chris Sununu. Republicans aligned with former President Donald Trump have embraced Bolduc, a retired U.S. Army Special Forces brigadier general. Trump has not weighed in on the race. The primary has been an at-times bitter battle between the party’s more traditional wing and the Trump-aligned wing....

The Duck Commander 500 Sunday is sponsored by the company owned by the famous Robertson family, the stars of A&E's Duck Dynasty. But the Duck Commander sponsorship shouldn’t be compared to the NRA, which sponsors the NRA 500 last year, when thinking about what’s appropriate and what’s not.

His comments came just a day before Greene appeared before a state administrative law judge on Friday for a hearing in the proceeding, which she has denounced as a “scam.” The decision in that hearing might have repercussions beyond Greene’s future. Fein said, in that he thought it could be applied to other politicians, including Trump. Speaking on MSNBC on Thursday, Fein, the legal director of Free Speech For People, a nonpartisan, nonprofit legal advocacy organization that is representing the Georgia voters in the case against Greene said that if the judge overseeing the case “fairly and impartially applies the facts and the law, then he’ll agree with us that Marjorie Taylor Greene is disqualified for public office because of her aiding and facilitating the January 6 insurrection....

In a post on Truth Social, the former president said the company’s decision to remove the news network from the airwaves was “disgusting” and a “big blow” to the Republican Party. DirecTV, which is owned by AT&T and private equity firm TPG Capital, said it dropped Newsmax, which frequently broadcasts Trump’s political rallies live, over the channel’s “demands for rate increases” for its carriage fees—money cable and satellite TV providers pay to broadcasters for their content—which would have resulted in higher costs for customers....

In an appearance on The Mark Levin Show on Thursday, Trump called on Smith to resign and end his probe into allegations the former president mishandled top secret materials found at his Mar-a-Lago resort, and attempted to obstruct the federal attempts to retrieve them. Trump said that Smith has a conflict as his wife, Katy Chevigny—who worked as a producer on the Michelle Obama documentary Becoming and twice donated to Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign—also “hates” him, and is friends with Andrew Weissmann, who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia inquiry....

Bill Clinton (in 1998) and Andrew Johnson (in 1868) are the only other members of the exclusive presidential impeachment club, but Trump could really make history if Congressional Democrats clamoring for an unprecedented second trial get their way. Trump has been condemned on all sides for his rhetoric and claims of election fraud that lit a touchpaper for his supporters to storm the Capitol Building on Wednesday, with U.S democracy itself considered to be among the debris left in its rotunda....
